Butterfly Dream of Longevity Tribulation

Mu Zili and Si Meng looked at each other suspiciously, then nodded, signaling Sima Luocheng to continue talking.

"Two months ago, I ordered people to release all the prisoners of war in the Shang Kingdom. It was just to let Bailirong realize that although she sent troops to help me first, she broke the agreement and attacked my city. My people, but I still followed the agreement in the alliance book and did not actually detain the soldiers of the Shang country. I thought she would wake up a little because of this and stop being aggressive." Sima Luocheng sighed deeply and paused for a while. , looked out the window, and continued: "I don't want to, Taifu Song Xian suddenly mentioned my marriage with Baili Bing in front of all the ministers a month ago. He is the elder of the court and my mentor, and I have indeed contributed a lot to my ascension to the throne. The other ministers do not know his identity and origin, and now they all think that he is my confidant, and follow his lead in everything. When he mentions the marriage with the Shang Kingdom, all the ministers They all agreed, and even the Minister of Rites had ordered Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day, and he wanted to go to the Kingdom of Shang to give the dowry in person. But I..."

He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Simeng who was sitting opposite him, the words he wanted to say came to his lips, but he still didn't say them after all.

Simeng saw that he was embarrassed, and there was even some anger in his eyes. He clearly resisted this marriage, so he frowned and asked: "Bailirong didn't keep the agreement, and it was her fault. But you and her daughter The marriage was decided by your father-in-law and her 20 years ago. I'm afraid there are not a few people who know about it. Besides, when you asked her for help in Bingzhou, you promised it yourself. Now you want to go back on your word ? But I remember that I asked you about this on the way back to Xuanyang, but you didn't seem to care at that time, why are you so troubled now?"

Hearing this, Sima Luocheng's face was a little stiff, and Simeng also realized that his words were too straightforward, after all, he is the lord of a country now.

Mu Zili at the side picked up the teapot and filled the cups with tea for them, then slowly put down the teapot, reminding her softly, "Meng'er, this matter is your Majesty's private matter, so please don't meddle in it!"

He knew that Rumeng was a warm heart, but this world was extremely disturbing, one thing was over today, and another one would be tomorrow, so he didn't know when and when he would be able to leave.

Thinking that she had just told herself the day before yesterday that she wanted to find an opportunity to bid farewell to Luocheng, and since Luocheng came today, she didn't say anything for a long time, on the contrary, she became more concerned about Luocheng's affairs.

But when it looked like a dream in the blink of an eye, she saw her face reddish, her purple eyes glaring at herself, "Why am I getting involved? This matter was originally agreed upon at the beginning. It was wrong for Baili Rong to add insult to injury, but now Luocheng The king of a country should have the responsibility of being a king! Besides, Baili Bing’s face may have been cured by now! Besides, don’t you men always have three wives and four concubines? If you marry her, you will have a few more wives!"

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and at the end she simply stood up, pointed at Mu Zili and Sima Luocheng with a flick of her sleeves, and cursed, "Hmph! You men know how to judge people by their appearance! Superficial!"

She didn't know where she got angry, it was obviously nothing to do with her, if it was said that she was familiar with Baili Bing, but they didn't even say a word, there was no reason to complain about her To this point?

Seeing that they were all staring at her dumbfounded, as if she had just come from Mars, she bit her lip and shook her sleeve, then turned and walked to the window without saying a word.

For her gaffe and scolding, Mu Zili didn't understand the situation at all, he just drank cup after cup of tea, his clear eyes were so clear that no emotions could be seen.

The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, Sima Luocheng got up awkwardly and said, "Don't be upset, Meng'er! I naturally know what the letter of alliance means, and I also understand what Feng Wujue means. Since I agreed to this matter that day, I will never It will change. It’s just that Brother Mu is only half right about this matter. On the surface, this marriage is only my private matter, but after all it involves two countries, so it is also a state matter. But Song Xian’s generation is becoming more and more powerful in the court. Everything is tied to him.”

Seeing him get up, Mu Zili put down the teacup as well, stood up, and said, "Forgive Zili for speaking bluntly, if Your Majesty wants Yun Kingdom not to be restrained by Shang Kingdom, I'm afraid you should think about how to arrange Song Xian. He Now he has a high position and authority in Yunguo, but he was instigated by Bailirong, and Your Majesty is well aware of this..."

The lavender figure leaning against the window moved slightly, turned around, took Mu Zili's words, and said, "To put it bluntly, he is the time bomb that Baili Rong placed by your side, and he may bring you a bomb at any time." Unexpected disasters are coming!"

"Time bomb? I don't know what Meng'er said is..." Although Sima Luocheng was puzzled, he understood what she meant, so he hesitated to speak.

Seeing that she finally spoke, Mu Zili couldn't help sighing softly, and looked at her with eyes full of apology, like a dream but turned a blind eye, and still said to Sima Luocheng: "Don't worry about what that time bomb is, anyway It's harmful to you. I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't have any other intentions. I was just worried that if you broke the contract, Baili Rong would use this as evidence to embarrass you again. Besides, she still has If the alliance letter you signed with your own hand provokes her to attack, it will always be against you."

Like Mengfu recalled what Long Hai said earlier, so he said again: "These days, I have heard a lot about the emigration of border people, just from this action, it can be seen how much ambition Baili Rong has in his heart. , She took advantage of the weakness of the Yun Kingdom to turn all the people of your Yun Kingdom into her Shang people with the Huaimin policy. The time is still short, and there is nothing wrong with it, but as time goes on, the Yun Kingdom The border population will inevitably decrease sharply. When the land will be uncultivated, the country will have no taxes to collect, and the army will have no soldiers to recruit. This move is really bad for Yun Kingdom. Why don't you take advantage of the occasion of your marriage with the Ice Princess? , Think carefully about how to stop those people from emigrating to the Shang country."

"Does Meng'er have a good plan for this?" Seeing blood burst into each word of Simeng's words, they were deeply burned into Sima Luocheng's heart like a branding iron. Considering that she hides in this other courtyard every day, but she can analyze the situation of Yunshang so thoroughly, I am afraid that some ministers in the court are not as good as her in case.

He originally had some good feelings for her, but after all, he took many considerations into account and dared not reveal his feelings. Besides, she had something to belong to, even if he had feelings for her, he could only secretly bless her.

Listening to her words now, the admiration for her suddenly increased a little bit, but after thinking about it, I still don't know how to find a reason to keep her by my side. Now I can only hope that she will be nostalgic for the beautiful scenery of Dengyun Mountain. stay voluntarily.

Like a dream, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his eyes, he just met Mu Zili's eyes full of tenderness. He was slightly stunned, remembering what he had promised him, and then he smiled and changed the subject, "Look at me This memory, while talking, I almost forgot the business. Originally, I wanted to go to the palace to say goodbye to you, but it is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Today, I wish you and the ice princess a happy marriage for a hundred years, and they will be together forever! "
